According to him, “when I got a call from a Glo official, my first instinct was that it was a fraudster, but when the caller insisted that I should come to Glo office and even said I should I should look at the video of the office on a Whatsapp call, I became convinced and I started screaming.
“My fellow workers immediately joined me in celebrating, while some volunteered to follow me to the Glo office. Immediately, I called my wife to break the good news to her. I am very happy. I thank God and thank Globacom for making me a brand new car owner, after I sold my old car last year”.
